Cam listened to Samuel's story with interest, shuddering appropriately when Sam described the tight conditions of the cave. That did sound terrifying! And the dark water, never knowing when you could surface -- lungs tightening in your chest, totally blind and helpless in the dark -- Cam could imagine it all too well, and it brought a sympathetic grimace to their face.
After that point, though, the story started to fall apart a bit for Cam. True, the idea of the older sister forever clawing her way forward in the dark, searching for her younger sister's voice, was disturbing. But why had she heard that voice? It seemed ... random. And if the younger sister was the one to tell the tale, how did anyone know about the older sister's fate?
Despite these doubts, Cam was far too polite to criticize Sam's story. They smiled at the end and said, "That was horrifying -- excellent."
